Getting good fill for extracted paths
by Brendan Quigley 25 Jul '06

25 Jul '06

Hi - first time poster here. I'm relatively new to SVG and I'm having a little trouble. :) I'm multi-selecting and copying paths from the world map I've downloaded from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:BlankMap-World.svg . Each path seems to be separate, hence the multi-select. Then I paste the selected paths (say for Spain) and try to combine them. They appear to be combined, but I'm unable to get a proper interior fill on the resulting object. That is it seems the fill is still acting on individual paths. I've tried joining selected segments, grouping, everything I can think of, but to no avail. If you look at the small attached example, you'll see what I mean! I'm sure from that you'll see what I'm trying to do. Maybe it's something simple, but I'm baffled. Any help would be gratefully received. Cheers, Brendan Quigley

resolution issues
by Sebastian Winkler 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hi Inkscapers! I am fairly new to Inkskape and experiencing some difficulties with the way it handles units and resolution. I use IS to create graphics for web sites, so I have "Default export resolution" in Inkskape Preferences set to 72px. At first I always set my document units to pixels, but then I noticed that the exported bitmaps turned out to be smaller — pixel-wise that is. So I took to using points as document units after discovering that this resulted in the expected export sizes. Problem is, when I import a bitmap it turns out to be smaller in Inkskape… What is one to do? Is there a way to set the document resolution? Thanks in advance! Sebastian

Help required with "put on path" - text orientation within a circle
by Kerr, Bill 21 Jul '06

21 Jul '06

I am trying to put text into a circle with the "put on path" command Problem I am having, is the orientation of the text. I have two areas of text, one text line I want to put on the top of the circle but inside of the circle, with the text orientated upwards. The second line is to go on the lower portion of the circle (again inside), again with text orientated upwards. I created both lines separately. When I put the first line on, it aligns to the outside of the circle, is there any way of selection so that it will align to the inside of the circle, which just saves the step of resizing the text to fit the inner portion of the circle. My real problem is with the 2nd line. It also will align itself to the outside of the circle. When I rotate the text to the bottom of the circle, it ends up upside down (or facing downwards) rather then upwards which I require. I tried inverting the text horizontally before using put on path command, but it looks like the that formatting is eliminated when the line is fitted to the circle as the result is the same. Any assistance you can provide this novice with Inkscape would be appreciated. Regards Bill Kerr

How to print artworks on inkjet printers?
by Tarsier 20 Jul '06

20 Jul '06

Hi all I'm using Inkscape on Linux, specially Tomahawk Desktop ( http://www.tomahawkcomputers.com/ ). How do I print my artworks on an inkjet printer? I use Epson Stylus Photo R800. Is printing possible in first place? How do inkscape users print artworks? The gimp-print ( http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/ ) ver. 5.0 is coming soon. Can the gimp-print now known as Gutenprint be used to print Inkscape artworks? I'm really interested printing artworks on Epson Stylus Pro series printers.

Hi guys. I have some draws that I would like to 'give away". You can use them as template or just draw samples (GPL 2.0 only). The main idea is learning, of course. Sure I have others but I'm not allowed to publish them (legal issues), sadly... Would you be interested in it (them)? http://rapidshare.de/files/26335206/InkSamples.tar.bz2.html Salute! -- Ludi Maciel
